Womens Plus Size Shorts " Exile Back From The Brink

By Deb Smith

The thought of wearing a pair of womens plus size shorts used to be enough to give me a very bad headache. In fact even pictures of scrawny models, sliding into their denim shorts sent me straight to the fridge for a giant bowl of ice cream. But no more, finally there is an answer for the plus size women when it comes to summertime wear.

Leave the wide breathable long pants and floor length skirts to the moths in the wardrobe, plus size clothing designers have heard our cries. Gone are the days when the swimwear store only stocked 3 plus size swimsuits in the entire store, all designed for your grandmother. Gone are the days when curvy plus size women were expected to cover up from head to toe.

Because the plus size woman now have their own designers, short skirts and shorts in no longer something other women wear. Lets look at what you can do to get the most out of your plus size closet.

Clothing in larger sizes is not the same as plus size clothing. Clothing designed for plus size women have special alterations made to the style and design. For example armholes in dress shirts are bigger and there will be more ease over the shoulders for dresses, shirts and jackets. Trouser legs are also wider in the thigh than pants designed for small sizes.

Pants and shorts should be more ample through the hips, as should dresses. The best looking shorts for a plus size women will be a pair that hits between the mid thigh and just at the knees with a flat front. Stick to nice clean lines.

When wearing knit pants it is best to find a pair with an elastic waistband. This will not only make them more comfortable but will also help to keep the pants from binding at the waist.

And when summer arrives you can pull on your women's plus size shorts, match with your favorite t-shirt and comfy flats and enjoy.

More than anything make sure you have fun while you shop for your women's plus size shorts. If you love what you are wearing it will show in the way you hold and carry yourself. Not only that but the only thing that will be more dazzling than your outfit will be the smile on your face.
